Gaslight

I remember when we met
In the kitchen in my old flat
You were standing with your friends
I was staring at the table
Now I'm rallying my excuses not to catch up with my friends
Anthology of what my life could've been, I'll see it to the end
Now I've got millennial anxiety
Yeah, I give myself the ick
And all the ice caps are melting
Can't get anything to stick
Gotta get onto the ladder
Been defaulting on my rent
Gotta catch up on my emails
Gotta see more of my friends

Just because
I've been overthinking
Just because
Yeah, I've been overthinking

And now I'm folding in the workweek
Trying to believe the best years are ahead
It's fine-tuned corporate strategy
You'll get it when you're dead
And now I'm ruining all my twenties
I wish the propaganda were true
'Cos I cut like a dull knife
Wish I could see more of you
Now I'm a post-grad barista
I'm a prosecco punk
I'm embarrassed at where I came from
Wish I was more down on my luck
And now I'm going through old photos
Ballad of a wasted youth
I wish I'd used my time more wisely
Wish I'd spent more time with you

Just because
I've been overthinking
Just because
Yeah, I've been overthinking
Bout everything at once
Just because
I've been overthinking
Just because
Yeah, I've been overthinking

Now I'm getting older and too stubborn to admit that
I was scared
Maybe I'm too socially anxious
And you caught me unprepared
Or maybe I should just get over it
Just this crippling self-doubt is keeping me up at night
When you're not about
So gaslight me Daddy, 'cos the ice is getting thin
Is the water getting deeper?
Have I forgotten how to swim?
Have I decided how to leave it?
With a whimper or a scream?
Have I been asking you for answers
All I ever seem to hear is

Just because
I've been overthinking
I've been overthinking
I've been overthinking
'Bout everything at once
Just because
I've been overthinking
I've been overthinking
I've been overthinking
'Bout everything at once
Just because
I've been overthinking
I've been overthinking
Just because
I've been overthinking
'Bout everything at once
'Bout everything at once
